Suddenly, her eyes lit up. There was a simple tiled house in front of her and she ran over excitedly.
“Is there anyone here?” She shouted and looked behind her warily.
When she reached out to knock on the door, she found that the door was not closed. She pushed the door open and looked inside. Because it was getting late and there were dark clouds in the sky, she could not see clearly what was going on in the house.

[You heard it, too. It was Mr. Hopkins who told us to abort your child. You’d better be obedient or we won’t be so Bentle!]
Her mind was in a mess, and she couldn’t help thinking about those harsh words.
